In this study, the investigation of this process is based on the objective of correlating nutritional status and functional capacity with the presence of sarcopenia in the elderly. For this purpose, a cross­sectional study was carried out with 156 elderly people treated at the outpatient clinic of a teaching hospital. The criteria of the Euroepan Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older Persons were used to verify sarcopenia. Sociodemographic data were collected using a questionnaire, nutritional status assessed using the Mini Nutritional Assessment, and functional capacity assessed using the Katz index. Descriptive statistical analyses and correlation between variables were applied, and the significance alpha level of 5% (p ≤0.05) was adopted. The prevalence of sarcopenia was 19.9% (n=31). The elderly had nutritional status classified as normal (79.5%, n=124) and were independent (98.1%, n=153). The results showed correlation of sarcopenia with age (p=0.0004, r=0.2), body mass index (p<0.0001, r= ­0.3), arm circumference (p=0.0005, r= ­0.2), and with calf circumference (p=<0.0001, r=0.4). There were no significant results between sarcopenia correlation with nutritional status and functional capacity (p>0.05).Acesso AbertoEnvelhecimentoSarcopeniaEstado nutricionalAtividades cotidianasAgingNutritional statusActivities of daily livingCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::NUTRIÇÃOTrabalho de Curso - Graduação - Monografia
